Nature Quotes
In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds.

From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.

Poetry Quotes
A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,--such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages.

Fishing Quotes
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.

Doors Quotes
